Do what thy manhood bids thee do,
From none but self expect applause:
He noblest lives and noblest dies
Who makes and keeps his self-made laws."
~ Sir Richard Francis Burton
Because Even the Innocent Are Guilty
Submitted by Sharon Secor on Thu, 2011-06-02 01:00
“Alford pleas can be useful. The factually innocent client facing overwhelming evidence of guilt (it happens) is offered a good deal but the requirement is a guilty plea. Sometimes the client wants to take that deal, which can be a wise choice, but will not lie and say he's guilty. Or cannot, for one reason or another, admit guilt but the deal is too good to pass up.” What a shame to invest so much effort in finding a way for an innocent person to accept a deal because trial is too costly and justice cannot be counted upon to prevail.
